Call a Professional to Move Your Piano

Over the years, I've heard comments from my piano tuning customers like,

"It took six of the neighbors to get this piano in here and they broke my front door step in the process!"

Here's a clue...it should take two men to move an upright piano properly with a piano dolly. Three men to move the upright up or down the stairs. Professional piano movers move anywhere from 1 to 12 pianos per day on average. They know how to handle your instrument, so it's worth the money.

Most pianos are damaged when they are moved by the owner or owners. Dropping a piano six inches to the floor, in many cases, costs about $500 or more to fix.

It is best to hire actual "Piano Movers" listed in the yellow pages, through your local music store or on your favorite search engine on the web. Protect your investment - call a professional!

About Me

I have been working on pianos for over 34 years. I have experience tuning, repairing, appraising, refinishing, selling and moving all kinds of pianos.

In 1999, I published PianoAnswers.com which was the first piano tuner website on Yahoo. The FAQ on PianoAnswers.com received kudos from editor, Fern Marshall Bradley who quoted me in the book, "Shameless Shortcuts" put out by the editors of Yankee Magazine in 2004. Recently, I started a Facebook group called "PianoAnswers" which is dedicated to all people who love their pianos.

I would like to thank all of you who have chosen me as your piano tuner over the years. I met a lot of wonderful people and learned a great deal about pianos and life in general, along the way.
